Diversion in place for roadworks this month

MOTORISTS using a busy Burton street are being warned of a diversion later this month.

Staffordshire County Council has confirmed that from August 18 to 23, the A5121 on Derby Street will be closed overnight between 7pm and 6am from its junction with the B5416 Borough Road northbound to 5 Derby Street while the first phase of roadworks take place.

From August 25 to 26 vehicles will be prohibited access at all times as works continue throughout the day.

A recommended diversion will be put in place asking drivers to instead use Station Street, Union Street and Orchard Street before joining Evershed Way.
